For that one time when systemd-logind crashed on every boot on an unmodified CentOS install because of an OOM.

You’re not forced to link your account with your real identity in fedi.

Fair enough

That’s the point, it’s not flashy but everything loads instantly and you get work done in no time. 2000s style.

I haven’t had any problems with redmine itself but with dependencies and the Ruby runtime.

And if you’re saying I don’t have enough experience to make claims about Ruby dep management, I can say the same about you Python. Works flawlessly for me.

https://www.redmine.org/ is a standard rails webapp. Nothing special. Straightforward to update, just a few commands, the only quirk is that at least one step always fails. Some obscure bug in a dependency, some problem with expected vs installed system libraries, or my favourite, a Segmentation Fault.

It was on a phone, and 25 GB was Flatpak

Ruby, of all the examples you could come up with? My Redmine is updated only every few years because I rarely have a whole day to deal with the mess that is Ruby deps managent.

Java deals with this ellegantly.

There’s so much random, useful software distributed only as appimages. But not notable enough for packaging fanboys.

Ran out of space on a 30GB partition when trying around 10 smallish programs as flatpaks. Runtimes are shared in theory but not in practice.

If it turns out to be a Pi bottleneck, you can just re-encode the videos with a lower quality and h.264 codec.

I have a similar setup but my nfs server is not a mini pc.

You could try diagnosing if it’s the network or if your mini pc is too busy (maybe out of disk i/o?).

If that’s too hard, temporarly stop all other programs on the mini pc. Does it help?

Does streaming something from the internet to kodi work without freezes? If it’s ok, then network is likely not the issue

Last but not least, does playing the same video from an USB stick work smoothly? If not, maybe the quality is too high or the video is x265

Any particular problems you’re having or have you briefly used Pidgin in 2008 and think nothing has improved since then?

XMPP. It just works, requires very little resources, is stable and has decent clients.

I would go with Snikket instead of Prosody if I had been starting now.

Conversations on phones, Dino or Gajim on PCs, plus a conversejs install on the xmpp server, to allow web access when needed.

Conversations is easy for the family to figure out.

This whole thread is depressing to read, full of corporate bootlickers putting blame on you.

Oh no, a cheap offer! 🙀

Sounds like phpmyadmin lol

For me it’s simple.

Pseudo-OOP in C which takes dialog* as a forst argument? dialog_open_file

Otherwise - make it human readable

They fucking what? I need to get off the couch and cancel my support too

Seems so obvious now, thanks
